This has been going on since .. all the 'new' 8.X driver series, the only other driver that was usable before that was 8.34.5.

Since i also have an 9500Pro AGP, i can luckly use that one, which works great. So it's definably driver related. The card also works fine in Windos. (Yes i actually installed ONLY to see if the card would work properly there. I'm that desperate).

So please, Micheal, ATi-devs .. somebody, acknowledge this bug. At least then we don't have to test these drivers constantly, but can simply see in the known bugs section there's still an issue here. Also If none of the beta testers have AGP PCI-e cards, i'm still happy to sign up as an BETA tester.

After restarting X the area should be recreated by the driver, it isn't. I tried setting the "mtrr" option, in the device section of xorg.conf, to both on and off and there was no difference. I would expect the driver to recreate the area, complain or crash.

Same issue here with the X1950 PRO AGP(512) still waiting.....for a miracle to save me from Vi$ta. Can at least get proper 2D support now, next should be 3D fixes along with the AGP/PCI-E Bridge issues with IRQs and wrong detection.
